Where Texas Barbecue Meets Mexican Tradition

Award-Winning Barbecue Tacos

Experience the perfect fusion of traditional Texas smoking techniques with authentic Mexican flavors

BBQ Birria Tacos

Our signature BBQ Birria Tacos showcase why we made Texas Monthly’s “50 Best Tacos in Texas” list. Prepared quesabirria style with tender smoked brisket, melted jack cheese, fresh onions and cilantro, served with our rich Consomé de Res for dipping. This fusion of Texas barbecue and traditional Mexican birria creates an unforgettable taco experience.

Smoked Suadero Tacos

Our Smoked Suadero tacos gained national attention when FOX 4 featured our recipe on Good Day. Tender chunks of smoked brisket are finished in their own juices and spices, then chopped, seared and served on warm corn tortillas with fresh onions, cilantro and salsa. This confit-style preparation using rich beef tallow creates incredibly tender, flavorful meat.

Carnitas Tacos

Our Carnitas feature tender chunks of smoked pork finished in their own juices and spices. Served on corn tortillas with pickled onions, salsa, chiles en vinagre, cilantro and lime. The smoking process adds depth that traditional carnitas can’t match.

Cochinita Pibil Tacos

Experience the flavors of the Yucatan with our Cochinita Pibil tacos. Smoked pork marinated in traditional Yucatecan spices, served on corn tortillas with pickled red onion, taco slaw, cilantro and jalapeño. This dish honors Mexican tradition while adding our signature Texas smoke.
